Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Holds On To This Week's Gains

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD remains in a bear cycle inside the channel drawn from the Feb 10 high. The focus is on 0.9645, 76.4% of the Sep 28 - Oct 4 bull cycle and further out, 0.9536, the Sep 28 low and key support. Resistance is at 0.9815, the 20-day EMA.
  • GBPUSD maintains a softer tone but has managed to find some support - for now. At this stage, the recent move lower appears to be a correction of the rally between Sep 26 - Oct 5. A continuation lower would open 1.0922 and 1.0787, 50.0% and 61.8% of the Sep 26 - Oct 5 bull cycle. Initial resistance is at 1.1204, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDJPY maintains a bullish tone and the pair is holding on to this week’s gains. Yesterday’s break of 145.90, the Sep 22 high, confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend. Attention is on 147.25 next, the 3.00 projection of the Aug 2 - 8 - 11 price swing.
